.bb "#. Introduction to editing in time-sharing systems"

	A user of a time-sharing computer system keeps programs, data,
reports and other documents in the form of ⊗files on the disk
memory of the system.  Each file has a name, and each user ↔as a
directory that lists his files.  At the Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory, the standard user file quota is 150,000 words which is a
bit more than enough to store one full sized book.

	Text files are typed into the machine originally
and later modified using editor programs.
The standard editor at SAIL is called E.  An original version
was written by Dan Swinehart, the current machine language version was
written by Fred Wright, and it has been extensively modified by
Arthur Samuel and Martin Frost who are the current experts.
